An Arabic word meaning "good", "honest", or "religious" man.
And, as I've been informed, applies to all who have lived or live
in Nuckolls county, and all their progeny. The post office was
established in 1893 and discontinued in 1902. The community
was located along the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The community
is not on my modern atlas.

Angus was names for J B Angus. On referrence says he was a CB&Q
official and another says he was a Burlington Railroad official. Not
knowing for sure if CB&Q is Burlington or not I list both. Originally, Ox Bow,
the post office was extablished in 1873, changed in 1886 and discontinued
in 1977. The Lincoln Land Company plaatted the town.

Baird post office was established in 1881. Originally named for S C Baird,
the name was changed to Beulah in 1885. Another reference says that it
may have been named for Henry Baird or, again, it might have been Robert
M Baird, its first postmaster.
